Votes: 3, With bad weather coming our way apart from the many other factors, we have drawn up a list of top disaster movies that offer all the thrills, chills, drama and even a ray of hope.
We've seen many disaster movies over the years, and let us tell you one thing, they don't make them like this anymore. The film, as the title suggests, follow a separated couple of a meteorologist and a weather reporter forced back together as they chase a twister and wreaks destruction on everything that comes in her path.
The film boasts of truly groundbreaking visual effects and hence should make it to your watch list. Prepare to get seasick when watching 'The Perfect Storm', a disaster film loosely based on the true story of a fishing boat that gets lost at sea in the midst of a massive storm. With George Clooney in the lead, this film by directed by Wolfgang Peterson gives mother nature an unforgiving face, we rarely get to see that often.
Next time you find yourself in the midst of a rainstorm, you'll be thanking your stars you weren't at sea. Besides the natural calamities that hit us this year, another major bombshell was dropped by the Pentagon when they officially released three videos of Navy pilots' mid-air encounters with what appears to be UFOs.
Although these videos were dated, it proved that we may not really be alone in this universe after all. Keeping that in mind, what better film to watch than 'Independence Day'? The Will Smith starrer sees a faceoff between alien invaders and humans as survival hangs in the balance.
This science-fiction disaster films, has all the cool visual effects, action scenes and humour even, minus the gore seen in other films in this category. Despite the looming threats, the world continues spinning round and round. But what happens if it stopped? Combined, they could make for a master list of all the best and worst things about disaster movies.
Leave it to the British to make one of the more sober disaster movies of all time. Nuclear tests have sent the Earth off its axis, and the planet is now being pulled into the sun, and there are riots in the streets, and everything is getting absurdly hot … but this is as much a zippy, witty journalism film as it is anything else. The effects have dated as have some of the, uh, romantic attitudes on display, seeing as how our hero here is an ogling newspaperman eager to get together with a comely switchboard assistant while the planet burns but the glimpses of bustling newspaper offices and the attention to journalistic detail are thoroughly engaging.
This tense, tough William Wellman picture is an early example of the airplane disaster movie that would later become such a staple of s filmmaking. Some of the effects may have become dated, but the suspense definitely has not. The plot, much of it involving Dennis Quaid trying to get to Manhattan to save his stranded son Jake Gyllenhaal, is ludicrous but touching.
For once, we get the sense that this director feels these issues deeply, in his own crude, bombastic way. For some reason, Gerard Butler feels like he is the uncrowned king of disaster movies. Mainly because the Has Fallen series, while not technically disaster movies, traffic heavily in the apocalyptic pleasures of the genre. And also because the batshit and clearly cut-to-ribbons sci-fi disaster flick Geostorm , while bad, had so many things in it that should have been awesome.
This is less CGI spectacle and more deeply emotional action movie, of the kind they used to make in the s. In other words, a perfect Gerard Butler movie. Kaya Scodelario plays a college student and championship swimmer who tries to check in on her headstrong father Barry Pepper as a massive hurricane hits Florida — only to wind up stuck with him in the dark, flooded basement of their old family home, trapped by two giant alligators.
Director Alexandre Aja , an expert at tight, austere horror films, builds tension with the ruthless efficiency of a sadistic engineer, but Crawl never feels cheap or opportunistic. We become unusually attached to the survival of this young woman and her dad. Practically dumped into theaters last year, this deserves greater acclaim. And not unlike that earlier film, this one takes its tale of debauchery and rectitude and reconciles everything with a fiery third act.
The destruction at the end, with buildings loudly exploding left and right, is still impressive. Not everybody liked Paul W.
In fact, most people probably hated it. And when Mt. Vesuvius finally blows, Pompeii becomes a glorious spectacle of annihilation, as the director lays waste to his sets and characters with all the glee of a young boy melting his action figures. If you ever get a chance to catch this in 3-D, do so. While most disaster movies follow a few days or hours in the lives of their characters, this devastating, fact-based account of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a group of elite firefighters from Arizona who set their own backfires to combat and contain wildfires, is an epic that encompasses several years.
As a result, it is far more emotionally engaging and honest than the average disaster flick — we get a real sense of these people as human beings. This also provides an opportunity to get up close and personal with the firefighting profession.
The minutiae of fighting fires — the tools involved, the procedures followed, the mind-set required — is fascinating to watch. But director Joseph Kosinski delivers real spectacle, too, depicting the raging fires in all of their visual splendor without ever skimping on tension and danger.
